40 episodes across both season, I think this is the longest BL I ever watched. Definitely worth it though
As for why GagaOOLala lists it as Thailand even though it was filmed in China and stars Chinese actors, I’ve already explained that.
They have improved so much since High School Musical. It doesn't feel like a GMMTV series at all.
My only complaint is that there are only 6 episodes, and we are already halfway through. I am not into God or religion, but this series is amazing so far. Fourth and Gemini are absolutely nailing it.
I understand why those points bother you, but I think some of the context gets overlooked.
First, the village burning down was an accident. Scent and Gaysorn were trapped and trying to escape. They had no idea their actions would cause a fire that spread to the village. They had already fallen in love before they even discovered what happened. When Scent returned and saw the damage, he offered to pay for the repairs because he felt responsible. It was a mistake, not a deliberate act of cruelty. If we judge people solely by their worst mistakes, then nobody would deserve love because everyone makes mistakes.
Second, regarding Scent stealing Gaysorn's scent, I think people are judging his actions without putting themselves in his position. His father is dying, and extracting Gaysorn's fragrance may be the only way to save him. Yes, he came to the village with an agenda. Yes, he kept Gaysorn close because he needed something from him. But he also genuinely helped Gaysorn search for his mother, so the relationship was never completely one sided.
What makes Scent interesting is that he is flawed. He is desperate, manipulative, and willing to make morally questionable choices for someone he loves. That does not make him a good person, but it makes him a believable and compelling character. You can already see him developing real feelings for Gaysorn, which is exactly why the inevitable fallout will hurt so much when the truth comes out.
If Scent had been completely honest from the beginning and said, "I need to extract your fragrance to save my father," do people really think Gaysorn would have gone with him to Bangkok? Probably not. The story works because Scent's actions create conflict. If he were a perfect green flag from episode one, there would be very little tension or emotional stakes.
People often love morally grey characters in other genres because they are complicated. Understanding a character's motivations does not mean you approve of everything they do. It simply means the writing is doing its job.
Third, regarding the relationship with the nephew of the man who killed Gaysorn's mother, Scent and Gaysorn fell in love before they even knew about that connection. More importantly, Scent did not commit the murder. His uncle did. Both Scent and Gaysorn were only around four years old when the murder happened and had absolutely nothing to do with it.
I don't think it's fair to say two people cannot be together because of a crime committed by an older relative. Scent is not responsible for his uncle's actions. In fact, he loved Gaysorn enough to turn his own uncle over to the police. That alone shows where his loyalty and morals ultimately lie.
By that logic, anyone whose relative committed a crime would be forever judged for something they never did themselves. Love is between two people, not between their family histories. Holding Scent accountable for his uncle's crime makes no more sense than blaming a child for the actions of their parents or relatives
“Is your name Men?”
OMG, then they kissed.
Their kiss appeared only as shadows dancing over the ocean's waves, and somehow that made it even more beautiful. The water caught the moment and carried it across the shore. I had never seen a shadow kiss in a BL before, and they executed it perfectly.
It was a slow burn for four episodes, but it was definitely worth the wait.

The Uncut Ver has the correct number of epsiodes for the Fast Track on WeTv
I can't wait for the moment when Jay finds out that Sun was the pink teddy bear who saved him.
One thing I'm curious about, though. During their encounter a few years ago, it makes sense that Jay couldn't recognize Sun because he was wearing the pink teddy bear costume. But why couldn't Sun recognize Jay? His face was completely visible, and Sun could clearly see through the costume since he was able to fight off all those thugs in the alley.
Any novel readers here that can answer my question?
So no, you don’t have to be a psychiatrist to learn about bipolar disorder or have an informed opinion on it. Professional expertise is important, but lived experience and learning directly from medical professionals also count for something. I’m not claiming to know everything, but my view is based on far more than just a sliver of information.
Secondly, I'm not going to ignore it simply because you disagree with me. There's a reply button for a reason, people can agree, disagree, or challenge what's been said. That's how public discussions work.
As for your brother, I'm sorry for your loss. However, bringing up a personal situation doesn't change the point being discussed. People are free to respond to opinions posted publicly, just as you're free to express yours.
I am not defending Lu Feng's actions, but I also do not think it is fair to look down on people with bipolar disorder or dismiss the role that mental illness can play in someone's behavior.
Bipolar disorder is a genuine mental health condition that can significantly affect a person's thoughts, emotions, judgment, and actions, especially when it is untreated. That does not mean every harmful action should be excused, but it does mean the situation is more complicated than simply labeling someone as a bad person. Understanding the context behind a character's behavior is not the same thing as condoning it.
During her worst episodes, she was very aggressive, both verbally and physically toward my elderly parents. It was an incredibly difficult time for our family.
We were fortunate to have access to Australia’s healthcare system, which provided support with medication, housing, and ongoing care. She has recovered remarkably well and is now a completely different person. It’s been amazing to see the positive change in her life.
That’s why Episode 12 hit me so hard. Seeing Yi Cheng stay by Lu Feng’s side through everything reminded me that sometimes the people who are struggling the most need someone who refuses to give up on them. Yi Cheng was always there for Lu Feng, and that really resonated with me because of what my family went through.
